Deliberate timing for new offer. Ultimately MIA WOULD have closed as the future feed model doesn't work best with the smaller number of feeders left after consolidation to have crew domiciles in every hub. NYC is slated to close as an Envoy base as well.

It goes like this: Announce closing of domicile X and go through the motions (displacement bids, etc.)....THEN, float new offer that includes keeping domiciles X and Y open for a period of time to get enough of those pilots on board to achieve 50%+1. In all likelihood, whether your MEC and negotiators know it, they will play right into Parker and Glasses hands if they put any such deal before the pilots.

Just watch. The proof will be a TA that has exactly the above offer of keeping closing domiciles open for period of time. That's how to get a bad 10-year deal from Envoy pilots and it's a form of "bait and switch". They know a percentage of Envoy pilots in those bases will take the bait even knowing the switch is coming. Long-term win for Parker and Glass and short-term win for SOME of the pilots.

You guys are being manipulated by pros.
